Your Image. Your case.

We collaborate with a number of artists to provide you with a portfolio of artwork to choose from.
Did you know you can also upload your own image on our website to create a completely unique case? See here for details.

About the case itself:
This one-piece case fits with an extremely slim/subtle profile, adding minimum bulk. It provides easy access to all buttons and the docking area, and is completely compatible with our Magicscreen screen protector range.

What is the difference between our Glossy and Matte case finish options?
- Glossy edition: has a shiny textured finish, just like the pages of a glossy magazine
- Matte edition: has a non-shiny textured finish, with a texture like brushed aluminium or the pages of a newspaper
Our Glossy edition displays images in perfect definition, and the Matte edition loses a (tiny) bit of definition due to the reduction of contrast as a result of its frosted texture (in the same way that a satin/matte photograph is ever so slightly less detailed than a glossy photograph).

Does my uploaded image have to fill the entire print-area box?

Yes it absolutely must fill the entire box. If you do not fill the entire box, the sides of the case will not be printed with your image, and will therefore be white (or your chosen background colour).
If you do this, we will be unable to refund you for your order, so please consider this our very transparent and explicit warning!

What prints on the sides of the case?

Your uploaded image must fill the entire print area box. If you do not fill the entire box, the sides of the case will not be printed with your image, and will therefore be white (or your chosen background colour).
If you do this, we will be unable to refund you for your order, so please consider this our very transparent and explicit warning!

Will the image rub/scratch off the Grafikcase?

No.

Will the colours on the case appear exactly like the picture:

While we endeavour to reproduce colours as close as possible, we can not guarantee that colours will appear exactly as they are shown on the screen, and therefore please anticipate a colour variance of up to 15%. Graphics and Images shown on monitors are usually in the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) colour model. This means that each colour is composed with different proportions of these three base colours.

In order to print the images on our cases, we must first convert the colours to the CMYK colour model. During the printing process, the colours are then composed of different proportions of cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). This can lead to differences in appearance between the print and that which appears on your screen.

After converting to CMYK colours, a few more colour value corrections are made so as to optimise as many designs as possible. Depending on how close your design is to the basic settings, the colours will appear as seen in the original.

Please note: We can not guarantee Pantone-level matching.

How high will the detail of the image be when added to the Grafikcase?

Images are printed in 300 dpi, and thus we are able to print in more minute detail then those shown on monitors. This means that high-resolution photos are replicated fantastically. It also means that if you provide a low resolution image (lower than 300dpi), the image will look pixellated on the case. An uncompressed photo taken on any modern digital camera, or any camera phone with a decent camera (e.g. the iPhone 4/4S/5, or Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S3, but not the iPhone 3G/3GS) will be absolutely fine.

Images or pictures which are scanned can have varying degrees of quality depending on the scanner type. We do not suggest that customers scan the back of their phones with a non-industrial scanner (some customers scan their device in order to make their case look the same as the back of their naked device), as the images generated from these may contain artefacts that become more prominent when printed.

About the Grafikcase cases themselves

What material are your cases made from?

An incredibly high grade plastic (it must be completely free of impurities, or image definition is affected). That is really the only information we can publicise.

What is the design of your cases like?

Our current range of cases are all very slim cases, designed to add minimum bulk to the device, and to allow minimum distraction from the image on the case. You can find more specific details about each case on the product page.
We do intend to add 'tough' bulkier cases to our range, and that is something we are presently working on.

What is the difference between the Glossy and Matte finishes?

Quite simply, one is Glossy (like your phone screen, or a regular photograph), and the other is Matte (like brushed aluminium).
The Glossy edition displays images in perfect definition, and the Matte edition loses a (tiny) bit of definition due to its frosted texture, in the same way that a satin/matte photograph does.
